Building a Sonic Identity System with Joe Belliotti

Music industry veteran Joe Belliotti is an expert in sonic branding. While most marketers focus on visuals, brand builders today need to think about the impressions that can be made and emotions that can be evoked through music and sound. Joe and I discussed all of this and more this week on the On Brand podcast.

Episode Highlights What is sonic branding? “Every single brand is making an impression with music and sound.” However, unlike visual communication, most marketers lack the vocabulary to talk about it. What should a sonic identity system include? While there are many definitions and lists, Joe cited the importance of: Sonic logo Product UX/UI Music, curated music Beyond Intel ... I noted that the sonic logo example that most of us think of is the Intel Inside tag, however, Joe noted that this is a great example as it helps build what's ultimately an invisible ingredient brand. Other examples of sonic branding? Joe cited Mcdonald's “I'm Lovin' It” and Mastercard's recent work, which reminded me of my sonic branding conversation with their CMO Raja Rajamannar. What brand has made Joe smile recently? Joe kept it sonic with a mention of the recent Infiniti ad featuring the Cat Stephens song "Wild World." To learn more, check out the MassiveMusic website.
